With so many Italian restaurants to choose from Portofino’s is by far my favorite. Had another fabulous experience as I’ve had each and every time I’ve dined there.

We had a lovely dinner with friends on a Thursday evening. The restaurant was busy, but service was prompt and friendly, and the noise level allowed for pleasant conversation. All in all a very nice dinner experience.

We'd just spent a week away in Paris and were craving Italian when we arrived home. We choose Portifino's, one of our "Go To" restaurants. You can't beat the value and the portions. Everything is hot, prepared fresh and excellent!

Quality of food was great. Service/speed and flow of everything was poor. Understandably it was Valentine’s Day, and it was relatively busy, but we didn’t get our meal served until way over an hour after our sit down. People that were coming in after us were getting served and their food way before us. Also waiter never came around with water for us after the initial pour.. other tables had a pitcher of water on table— we did not, didn’t bother asking us is we wanted a refill. Probably not coming back again to sit and eat— takeout only if that

Great food and excellent service. Sean is the best server. Best kept secret in Morristown. Plan on using a side street to park because their parking lot only holds a couple cars. BYOB

Used to come here when we lived locally. What a treat to be back. Food was delicious- had the angel hair Mediterranean and linguine with white clam sauce. Very large portion for lunch. Service was attentive. Love it.

This is the first time we dined at Portofino. The host was very attentive and accommodating. The service was excellent, the food delicious. I am often critical on Italian tomato sauce being italian myself and I loved it! I often ask for veggies instead of pasta as a side with Parmesan entrees and I ordered the pasta, it was wonderful. The portions are generous and we brought home a lot of food. Looking forward to Sunday lunch! We brought our friends and they could not stop talking about how good the food and service was. My son ordered the rigatoni as he always does and this was a big hit.
